2 Table of Contents Town of Chino Valley Survey Datum Outline A short outline of how the data for the Town of Chino Valley and it s GPS system has been developed. Converting between NAD 1983 Survey Data and Chino Valley Survey Datum (CVSD) A description of the steps to take in order to convert NAD83 data (state plane grid) to Chino Valley Survey Datum (on the ground). Survey Monument Record Details This section has the following data for each of the 10 Town Reference Point Monument Records: 1. Monument Field Visit Information 2. Corner Tie and Location Sketch 3. Satellite Obstruction Chart 4. Site photographs Town of Chino Valley Survey Datum Conversion Spreadsheet This section consists of a spreadsheet that lists all of the coordinates for each of the Control Points. Listed are NAD83 epoch 2002 Latitude/ Longitude, State Plane Grid (Arizona Central zone) coordinates international feet, and CVSD coordinates (Local Datum at Ground values). Control Monument Location Map This is a vicinity map showing the approximate locations of the Town s control points scattered throughout the Town and surrounding area. Page 2 of 70

4 TOWN OF CHINO VALLEY SURVEY DATUM NARRATIVE A static GPS network survey was performed in April of 2007 of twelve reference points in the Chino Valley area. Ten of these points are generally surrounding Chino Valley, one point is located to the northwest of the Town, and one point is located to the southeast of the Town. The GPS static network utilized three nearby CORS stations for base control. All CORS stations used have been established utilizing the NAD83 (2002) horizontal control and NAVD88 vertical control. The static GPS network was performed with Trimble GPS survey equipment and adjusted using Trimble Geomatics least squares adjustment routines with 99% confidence limits. NAD83 geodetic coordinates and State Plane (AZ Central zone 0202) were derived. Three existing NGS monuments have been included in this network and have been assigned coordinate values for the Chino Valley Survey Datum. These NGS monuments are Prescott North Base Reset (PID ET0892), COTT (PID ET0893), and Prescott South Base (PID ET1887). State Plane Coordinates established for those points herein differ from the previously established NGS State Plane Coordinates. An average elevation of the Town was derived from modeling the USGS Digital Elevation Models (DEM s) within Town limits. An average elevation of 4743 above MSL (NAVD88) was calculated using this methodology. A Town centroid was calculated by creating a closed polyline of the town boundary, and utilizing AutoCad 2002 centroid function to derive the state plane coordinates of said centroid. A combined scale factor was calculated based on the average Town elevation (sea level scale factor) and the centroid location (mapping projection scale factor) and is utilized in the calculations herein. It is the desire of Town officials to use this coordinate system in the Town of Chino Valley for future mapping projects. The Town has adopted a requirement that all future development projects shall be tied into this system. This system is not intended to replace the Public Land Survey system. It is intended to supplement it and allow for the easy conversion of data into and out of the Town s Geographic Information System (GIS). The specific requirements for survey ties for new development projects are available on the Development home page on the Town s web site. Page 4 of 70
